HK Phil x Tai Kwun: Chamber Music Series 2020

Following the success of the newly launched “HK Phil x Tai Kwun: Chamber Music Series” in 2019, the HK Phil continues in 2020 with a series of six fantastic chamber music concerts presenting renowned pianist Warren Lee, Tai Kwun Director Timothy Calnin and nearly 30 HK Phil musicians. The repertoire ranges from the 19th century Romantic period to the contemporary era, featuring ensembles that comprise strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion in various combinations, as well as works with piano. As 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, two programmes pay homage to this great composer and include such pieces as the monumental Grosse Fuge and his intimate Moonlight sonata.

The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra is financially supported by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and is a Venue Partner of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
